Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The one who follows the Guru keeps in mind the One who is too vast to reach and too deep to see. Again and again, I give my thanks to the Guru.
The Guru has placed the Name in my very breath. Meeting the Guru, I am wrapped up in the Name.
The One who is too vast to reach can live right in your breath.
Gurmukh agam agochar Dhi-aa-i-aa means the gurmukh, a person who faces the Guru, keeps in mind the One who is agam, out of reach, and agochar, beyond what our senses can grasp. Ha-o bal bal satgur sat purkha-ee-aa means I give myself again and again to the True Guru. Bal bal is a way of saying, "I am so thankful I would give you everything."
Raam naam mayrai paraan vasaa-ay means the Guru brought the Lord's Name to live in my paraan, my breath of life. Think about it. You do not climb a mountain to breathe. The air comes to you. In the same way, the endless One is not reached by climbing. It is received, right into ordinary breathing.
What is something huge that can still feel close and personal to you?
